Lopetegui: "We're feeling good and optimistic. We're chipping away at the stages of our preparations, but we've now got this final and our preparations have been focused on winning it.”
-
Lopetegui: “We'll be trying to do our best with what we've got to put in a big performance against opponents who'll push us all the way, as they always do."
-
Lopetegui: "I envisage that it'll be a tight game, given that it's a final & because of the two teams that'll be out there on the pitch. Both sides will give the best possible accounts of themselves and Atlético will push us all the way in all areas: fitness, tactics & mentally.”
-
Lopetegui: ”We'll have to perform in those areas if we're to achieve our target. Winning silverware is part of our history and we'll be aiming to lift another title here."
-
Lopetegui: “Atletico are a tremendous side and have some superb players. They're excellently managed and have a clear and well-defined way of doing things. They're experts in competing amongst the elite".
-
Lopetegui: "Zidane did an extraordinary job, but that's now in the past. We now want to continue to build on the club's history and be the best team in all areas of the game. We have to look at the present with confidence and put in the hard work".
-
Lopetegui: "We're delighted that Bale is here with us and he's trained superbly right from day one. He's really driven and that's important for the side, but the most important thing is that we perform as a team in all aspects of our performance.”
-
Lopetegui: "Karim is a player I've always liked, I think he's really good. He's shown a fantastic attitude as he tries to help the team out."
-
Lopetegui: “Title secured with Spain U19s in Tallinn? It's one of life's coincidences. That's a very special memory from that period and now we've got another chance to win some silverware. It's an interesting coincidence and one that brings back good memories."
-
Lopetegui: “Who'll get the nod in goal tomorrow? I'm in no doubt about it, but I won't be announcing my starting XI today, just as our opposition won't."

Ramos: “It's a privilege to be contesting the UEFA Super Cup, each time you're involved in it it's a sign that we've done a pretty good job, and after winning three Champions League crowns in a row our prize is to try and defend our title.”
-
Ramos: “We've got the chance to begin the season by lifting some silverware and are excited by that challenge."
-
Ramos: “Strengthening the squad? Those sorts of decisions aren't down to us. We welcome the players who want to join our club.”
-
Ramos: “Cristiano's departure was a major one and as long as the excitement and desire to continue to improve and develop as a team and the hunger to win titles is intact, we can't allow the presence of an individual player to come before this club and the badge.”
-
Ramos: ”We try to help the new players to adapt quickly and for them to feel at home within the squad and to get them performing to the same standard or better than they have in the past because they'll have performed well enough to be at our club."
-
Ramos:“Klopp's comments? I respect everyone's opinions & I've already given mine. I repeat that at no stage did I intend on pulling his arm, in fact he grabbed my arm first and then we were scrapping for the ball. I didn't go in with the intention of hurting a fellow professional.”
-
Ramos: “He wanted to justify why his team lost the final, it's not the first one he has lost, he should concentrate on his own business & leave the rest of us players, who have been performing to a very high standard for many years, alone & let's see if he can say the same thing.”
-
Ramos: "Throughout the club's history, Madrid has had players of greater or lesser standing and Madrid comes above all of us. Madrid will continue to win things after Cristiano's departure, after Zizou left and when iconic players leave the club.”
-
Ramos: “The time will come for us to leave and Madrid will keep going because the great thing about this club is that regardless of what happens, it'll continue to win things.”
-
Ramos: “Cristiano decided to call time on this chapter and we fully respect that and let's hope that he does as well as possible and the same goes for us too."
